About Shira Haas
Shira Haas is an Israeli actress. She initially gained national prominence for her roles in local film and television, having won two Israeli Ophir Awards out of five nominations since 2014. By the start of 2018, Haas had made a name for herself in many prime-time Israeli drama television shows including the standout role of "Ruchami" on the international hit series Shtisel, which returned in March 2021 for a third season on Netflix. In 2020, she gained international acclaim for her role in the Netflix miniseries Unorthodox. With this performance, she became the first Israeli actor to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award and a Primetime Emmy Award.
